[quote=Anonymous]Some of it is about finding the right sports. My kids early soccer teams had 3 kids who consistently struggled. One was tiny and seemed afraid of the ball, one was coordinated but often out in space (that one was mine), and one was super aggressive about going for the ball but was as likely to steal from their teammates as the other side. Tiny kid stayed tiny, grew up discovered wrestling and had 4 varsity letters and undefeated season, mine discovered a love of cross country which he can do without as precise attention, and ADHD meds and maturity made a big difference for the third kid who switched to basketball where the aggressiveness was a huge asset. On the other hand, my kid has a cousin who’ll showed a lot of promise early, and just wasn’t willing to put in the work to stay at that top level and developed non-athletic interests instead which is of course an equally good outcome.
